ADJOURNMENT. :jw There being no further business to come before the Budget and Finance Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 2:20 p.m. espectfully submitted, aty en er Clerk of the Board RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: November 1, 1995 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Jack Reagan, Executive Director SUBJECT: CVAG Response to Ernst & Young "Financial and Project Planning Assessment" The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) and the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) jointly funded a CVAG administered contract with Ernst & Young to assess the financial and project planning process for the CVAG regional arterial program. The report was completed in May 1995, and since that time CVAG has been methodically reviewing the individual recommendations and acting on responses. A report documenting CVAG's responses were distributed to the Budget and Finance Committee during their October 6th meeting. Chairman Clifford determined that the report and RCTC discussion should be deferred to the November 8, 1995 meeting. CVAG's report documenting responses is attached. Included as attachments to CVAG's report are (1) Measure A Ballot language, Ordinance No. 88-1, and voter approved Expenditure Plan; (2) a September 26, 1994 opinion from RCTC Counsel regarding TUMF collection in the Coachella Valley; and the May 1995 EY report. CVAG and RCTC staff have met to review those responses. RCTC staff have rno objections to CVAG responses to issues ONE through TWENTY-FIVE. However, I cannot support CVAG responses TWENTY-SIX (Pay interest portion of debt from Measure "A") or TWENTY-SEVEN (Match TUMF at the project expenditure level). Both CVAG and RCTC staff acknowledge that my concerns regarding the TWENTY- SIX and TWENTY-SEVEN above may be moot in the event the Commission agrees with CVAG's "INTERPRETATION OF MEASURE "A" BALLOT WORDING" (See page 29 of CVAG report). The major issue for discussion during the November 8, 1995 meeting should be to address "INTERPRETATION OF MEASURE "A" BALLOT WORDING". The major divergent viewpoints are as follows: 1. CVAG's Executive Committee reviewed the Measure "A" ballot working; "The Uniform Traffic Mitigation Fee schedule shall be established in order to generate at least the equivalent of Measure "A" funding toward the regional arterial system." CVAG emphasizes that this wording says "establish", not "establish F:\USERS\PREPRINT\NOV.95\CVAGEYRE.JR Page 2 and maintain." CVAG indicates that they established a TUMF Schedule, therefore, CVAG contends it has fulfilled its ballot obligation. CVAG's report references the September 26, 1994 RCTC Counsel's opinion to support its interpretation. 2. I believe that this interpretation takes the word "establish" out of context. It might be argued that the more operative part of the Measure "A" wording might be "..in order to generate at least the equivalent of Measure "A" funding toward the regional arterial system...." - or at least an equal matching of Measure "A" and TUMF funds. I believe that a full reading of RCTC Counsel's opinion (September 26, 1994) to the question "Does the transportation improvement plan of Measure "A" require uniform transportation mitigation fee (TUMF) collections to be at least equal to Measure "A" sales tax revenues collected for the Coachella Valley Regional Arterial Program?" should lead the Commission to conclude that a one-time act of "establishing" a TUMF fee (which has proven to be only about 65% of Measure "A" regional arterial funding) does not meet the intent of Measure "A" obligation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission: 1) Approve the CVAG responses ONE through TWENTY-FIVE to Ernst and Young recommendations which are mutually agreeable to CVAG and RCTC staff. 2) Should review the INTERPRETATION OF MEASURE "A" BALLOT WORDING viewpoints and determine if it agrees with the interpretation advocated by the CVAG Executive Committee or the RCTC Executive Director. The Commission should confer with its Legal Counsel in reviewing the alternative viewpoints. 3) Defer consideration of CVAG responses TWENTY-SIX and TWENTY-SEVEN pending interpretation of Measure "A" ballot wording. :jw Attachment F:\USERS\PREPRINT\NOV.95\CVAGEYRE.JR 4 • • • 2.2 THE FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Local agencies are required to submit Five Year Capital Improvement Plans (CIPs) to the RCTC in order to qualify for Measure A Streets and Roads funds. In order to be eligible to receive monthly disbursements of funding beginning at the start of a fiscal year, agencies are required to submit their CIPs to the RCTC no later than May 31." The County and most cities have in the past qualified for participation in the Measure A streets and roads program. Cities not participating in the Coachella Valley Association of Government's Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) programu do not qualify to receive Measure A Streets and Roads allocations.16 The Commission currently requires cities and the County to submit fiveear expenditure plans in which y specific projects are identified in year 1. In years 2 through 5, the remaining projects are identified; but not by fiscal year. The Commission le responsible for making sure that Measure A Local Streets and Roads funds are used in a timely manner. Last year, the Commission's staffproposed a revision to the .five year expenditure plan requirement in which more detailed information Would be provided for years two through five, ie. each project would be assigned a specific year. Projects with multi year funding would show the amount of work to be accomplished in each year, including enviro� right of way acquisition, design, and construction. - minaty engineering, This proposal was not approved, but should be reconsidered. Local agencies with any comments regarding this change, or recommending alternatives to this proposal should provide their comments to the Commission. - 14 MEASURE A RECIPIENT POLICIES, Op. Cit. 15 The TUMF is a development impact assessment which provides funding for transportation improvements dictated by the demands of new development. The assessment is based on the number of vehicle trips that new development or site improvements will generate. The fee is uniformally applied across all participating jurisdictions within the Coachella Valley. It is collected by the local jurisdictions and then is transferred to CVAG for allocation into a Regional Arterial Program account.

As these funds are ,ewicte4 the related interest earned should be restricted as required by governmental regulations and oil. transportation funding including the T nznsportation Ace" Annual budget reeding the local government or agency's anticipated receipts and expenditures should be prepared and submitted to the Commission upon approval by the governing board. The data contained in the capital improvement plans submitted to the Commission should be included in the recipient's budgets. These budgets allow for proper evaluation by the Commission of recipient's activities on an annual basis." 12.3 ACCUMULATED DEFICITS Accumulated funding source deficits are the responsibility of the local jurisdiction. The RCTC will consider allocating additional funds for such deficits when justifiable on a case -by -case basis.91 12.4 BUDGET VARIANCES Significant budget variances should be avoided. All local jurisdictions are required to compare the budget to actual results and mare mid year revisions as needed .° 12.5 UNEXPENDED MONIES There is currently a problem with agencies having balances of unexpended Measure A funds in amounts which are more than necessary for existing projects. The following is what the Commission proposed last year to put in the Funding Guide. An accumulation of Measure A funds allocated by the RCTC, which in the opinion of the RCTC appears to be excessive (i.e., more than what is needed for two years of an approved five year Capital Improvement Program) will result in Commission action. The RCTC will hold in reserve any future disbursements until the excess funds have been reduced to a level needed to support existing project requirements.93 Local agencies have found it difficult to obligate these funds in a timely manner. The Commission is concerned with the status of agency -held unobligated Measure A funds and seeks guidance from interested agencies on how to resolve the problem.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: November 1, 1995 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: RCTC Programming and Funding Guide Copies of the RCTC Revised Program and Funding Guide were mailed to the cities, the county, and other interested agencies for review and comment. Copies of the comments received were provided to the Commission at the September meeting. The RCTC Technical Advisory Committee will discuss the Revised Guide at their meeting on Monday, October 30, and provide recommendations to the Commission. Two proposed policies have caused considerable concern to staff from the local agencies: 2.2 FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN; and, 12.5 UNEXPENDED MONIES (Copies are attached). On Tuesday, October 23, I met with staff from CVAG, WRCOG, the County and two of the cities in an attempt to clarify the issues being addressed, to review the proposed policy, and to identify any alternative approachers which might effectively address these issues and could be considered by the RCTC TAC and staff for recommending to the Commission. While no alternatives were identified at the meeting, those who attended developed a much cleared understanding of the issues and have agreed to discuss the issues with their agencies and to meet again to develop some alternative proposals for consideration by the Commission. RCTC staff appreciates the cooperation shown by these individuals recommends that no action on Proposed Policies 2.2 and 1.5 should be recommended until the December Commission meeting. We do not anticipate any of the remaining policies in the Revised Program and Policies Guide to require anything more than a minor technical change following the RCTC TAC meeting and we will have those changes incorporated prior to the Budget and Finance Committee and the Administrative Committee meetings. Staff will request a determination by the Committees on two possible approaches for final action on the Revised Program and Policy Guide. Option 1 will be to present the Revised Program and Policy Guide to the RCTC for approval, with the exception of Policies 2.2 and 12.5 to be held over to the December meeting. Option 2 will be to present the complete Revised Program and Funding Guide to the Commission at their meeting in December. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Budget and Finance Committee discuss Proposed Policies 2.2 and 12.5, and that since there in no pressing reason to approve the Revised Programming and Funding Guide prior to the December Commission meeting, that approval of the Guide should be done at one time if at all possible, and rescheduled to the December Commission meeting in order for the local agencies and staff to complete their work on possible alternatives to Proposed Policies 2.2 and 12.5. :jw Attachment F:\USERS\PREPRINT\NOV.95\GUIDE.PB RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: November 1, 1995 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Jack Reagan, Executive Director SUBJECT: AMPG Recommendations Regarding RCTC Organizational Structure I executed a limited contract with Applied Management Planning Group (AMPG) under single -signature authority to provide advice to me regarding personnel and organizational issues. The attached October 19, 1995 letter deals with organizational issues and is appropriate for consideration by the Commission during open session. In summary, AMPG's letter includes three recommendations, which are as generally as follows: 1. Leave the choice of organizational structure to the Executive Director. 1 prefer "Option Two - Modified Matrix". In the event the Commission favors "Option One - Traditional", the implications of that should be discussed with me in closed session. 2. Consider reassigning some responsibilities of the Assistant Director of Planning and Programming to the Assistant Director of Intergovernmental Programs or to the Deputy Executive Director. I agree with this recommendation and will work with the affected Directors to sort out reassignments. 3. Consider reassigning purchasing and procurement responsibilities from the Clerk of the Commission/Office Services Manager to the Controller. I agree with this recommendation. Given expanded work responsibilities, the Controller believes a reclassification of the Account Clerk to Senior Bookkeeper is necessary ($2,020 additional per year). So long as he is provided with the current level of support through Becthel, he does not believe that additional staff is required. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION: The Executive Director recommends that the Commission: 1) Approve the AMPG recommendations; and 2) Authorize reclassification of the Account Clerk to Senior Bookkeeper and amend the budget to transfer $2,020 from Contingencies to Salaries and Fringe Benefits. " AMPG October 19, 1995 nECEIVED OCT 23 95 IR; /CPC:1iTAlfirN COMMISSION Mr. Jack Reagan Executive Director Riverside County Transportation Commission 3560 University Ave., Suite 100 Riverside, California 9250I Dear Mr. Reagan: Applied Management & Planning Group 12300 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 430 Los Angeles, California 90025 310.820-0741 " FAX 310-207-2964 In June, the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) contracted with the Applied Management & Planning Group (AMPG) to conduct two reviews: one of the Commission's organizational structure, and one of the Executive Director's staff management practices. The letter regarding the Executive Director's staff management practices is being sent separately, as it is considered a confidential personnel matter and is for the Executive Director and members of the Commission only. This letter, regarding RCTC's organizational structure, is an open letter for review and comment. In performing this review, AMPG conducted individual, in -person interviews with all RCTC professional staff, reviewed our notes from previous interviews conducted with all staff as part of the 1995 Triennial Performance Audit (also conducted by AMPG), with all RCTC professional staff simultaneously to discuss functional assignments. conducted a meeting During the course of the review, we focused on two organizational issues: " The official structure of RCTC, as portrayed in the organization chart; " The de facto structure of RCTC, as and, reflected in the allocation of staff to programmatic areas. Each of these issues is discussed below, followed by AMPG's recommendations. Organizational Structure A sound organizational structure accomplishes two important objectives. First, it darifies who is to do what and who is responsible for which results, and second, It provides a decision -making communications network. There is no "one best there are several common models. The most pattern" of organizational design, although depends on its size, the jobs to be done, the people involved, the users being structure for served, and� other contextual factors. Mr. Jack Reagan October 19, 1995 Page 2. - RCTC currently has 19 authorized full-time staff positions. In an organization of RCTC's size, there are two primary organizational options which are suitable - a traditional hierarchical approach or a modified matrix design. Each of these is presented schematically in Figure 1. Figure I Organizational Options outward focus Option One Traditional inward focus Option Two Modified Matrix Under both organizational options, the Executive Director maintains a primary focus on external affairs. While the Executive Director also provides overall leadership and guidance on internal matters, responsibility for specific programmatic areas is delegated to others inside the organization. Under the traditional model, Option One in the preceding figure, a manager (usually a Deputy Executive Director position) one level down from the Executive Director would oversee internal staff, coordinating work through a layer of supervisors (Le. the Assistant Directors, Controller, and Clerk of the Commission). The primary purpose of this type of organizational structure is to free the Executive Director from much of the agency's day-to-day internal management, so that he/she can focus on policy -level issues and negotiations with outside entities. Usually, in this type of structure, the Executive Director has selected the Deputy so that he/she is comfortable delegating both authority and responsibility. The key benefit of the traditional model is the clarity it provides in terms of lines of authority and decision -making. Individuals higher up in the organizational structure are explicitly responsible for the products of the individuals they supervise. Such a structure works well when supervisors Mr. jack Reagan October 19, 1995 Page 3 • • • oversee a distinct group of employees, and is often put in place when a manager's span of control extends beyond eight or ten individuals. There are unintended consequences associated with the introduction of a layered structure, however, such as more complicated communication. It has been widely noted that layers of management act as "filters" of information, and the more levels an organization has, the greater the number of omissions and misinterpretations that are likely to occur. Additional levels also tend to be more expensive, since more effort is devoted to the task of managing. Under Option Two, the modified matrix design, which more accurately reflects the current organizational structure of the RCTC, the Executive Director directly manages the work of the Commission staff through the Deputy Executive Director, the Assistant Directors, the Controller, and the Clerk of the Commission. In this flatter structure, the Executive Director's span of control includes five direct reports. The individuals reporting to the Executive Director each have lead responsibility for some programmatic areas, and play a support role in other areas. The supervisors' span of management varies according to the programmatic areas to which they are assigned, with a different "team" of staff utilized to carry out each of RCTC's programs. Staff and management expressed a preference for the modified matrix approach, recognizing the benefit of being able to flexibly take advantage of the skills and knowledge of various team members in the execution of work processes and the preparation of products. It is for these reasons that the matrix approach is widely used in the technology industry and in corporate research and development, settings where work tends to be project -oriented in a manner not unlike RCTC's programmatic orientation. In an organization the size of RCTC, the flexibility associated with this design is desirable. Recommendation I: Since both organizational options are valid, the choice of which structure to implement should be the prerogative of the Executive Director. Functional Assienments Under a matrix management structure, like the one currently used at RCTC, there are potential complications. In particular, the flexibility of the structure can result in a de facto organization which unevenly allocates staff. Based on an analysis of professional staff allocation, presented in Figure 2, it appears that the workload of professional staff could be better balanced. Figure 2 presents the current allocation of RCTC's professional staff to the programmatic areas addressed theagency. this figure, the Assistant Director of Plannin and Pro by As shown in to 12 areas, and there are several areas which lack a designated leader. as a key contributor Mr. Jack Reagan October 19, 1995 Page 4 Figure 2 Current Allocation of Professional Staff to Programmatic Areas • I E i e E I M la" E E it S J I i i i i N i N 1 N N N Property Technician (anent iaabat C.

While the Assistant Director of Planning and Programming has overall responsibility for only one of RCTC's programmatic areas, this position plays a substantial role in 16 additional areas. While the current allocation of assignments reflects the Assistant Director of Planning and Programming's high degree of commitment to and interest in RCTC's programs, the allocation of staff could be better optimized by redistributing assignments more equally among the Assistant Directors and the Deputy Executive Director. It should be noted that balancing assignments among the programmatic areas tends to be complicated by the fact that RCTC's worldoad varies seasonally, with a heavier period falling between January and July. Rather than adding personnel, who would be busy during these months but might not be fully utilized at other times, the practice has been for the existing staff to work harder during the heavy periods. It appears that some of the tasks associated with the heavy period, such as data entry, database manipulation, and data analysis could be readily assigned to temporary help or contractors. Instituting regularly scheduled programmatic area meetings (perhaps monthly) may provide a forum in which to voice concerns regarding anticipated workload fluctuations. In considering the balance of assignments, it should also be noted that there are a few programmatic areas which lack a lead staff person. One programmatic area without a strong lead commitment is the Regional Transportation Plan. Another area which lacks a clear leader, air quality planning, is currently under discussion with the Western Riverside County Council of Governments (WRCOG), and may become the responsibility of RCTC. Recommendation 3: The Executive Director should clarify the role of RCTC with respect to transportation -related air quality planning and analysis for the County. Should that function become part of RCTC's responsibility, an additional professional - level staff member may be needed. Figure 3 presents the current allocation of RCTC's professional staff to the agency's support functions, and demonstrates a pattern similar to that described above with regard to the programmatic areas. Two functions, public relations and the oversight of legal and computer consultants, lack a single leader. The Clerk of the Commission/Office Services manager has lead responsibility for seven support functions, including purchasing and procurement. This function, which largely centers on financial transactions, could be streamlined by assigning it to the Controller. Recommendation 4: The Executive Director should consider reassigning the functional responsibility for purchasing and procurement, currently under the Clerk of the Commission/Office Services Manager, to the Controller.

We have held preliminary discussions with representatives from Federal Highways regarding their requirements to consider an HOV lane as an alternative highways whenever a freeway of two or more lanes is proposed to be widened. They are willing to consider a modification to their policy particularly where truck traffic and roadway grades are a factor. Late last week Joe Norbeck and I met with SCAG staff to discuss their modeling and conformity process. SCAG staff agreed that some additional modeling done by CECERT which will identify the impacts of truck and roadway grades might make relative current assumptions regarding the functioning of HOV lanes and mixed flow lanes. CECERT is preparing a scope of work and cost to perform the work needed in a manner that the results can be integrated into the SCAG forecasting and conformity models. We expect the information will be available for presentation at the Budget and Finance Committee meeting. :jw " RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: November 1, 1995 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Route 79 (Lambs Canyon) Status Report The Measure A funded construction to widen Route 79 from two lanes to four lanes through the Lambs Canyon Area is progressing rapidly. The Lambs Canyon widening is a major construction project requiring extensive earthwork and grading through some very steep canyon areas. Upon completion, the project will have solved a serious safety problem and will provide additional capacity needed for future growth in the Hemet/San Jacinto Valley area. The Route 79 Project is the final piece of a four part major facilities improvement program which also included construction of: the Sanderson Avenue Bridge, the Route 79 Railroad Grade Separation at 1-10; and the Route 79/Gilman Springs Road Grade Separation. Funding and construction of these projects have been accomplished through extensive coordination and cooperation of all of the major transportation agencies: the California Transportation Commission; Caltrans; the County of Riverside; and the RCTC. Staff will provide an oral report and slides to show the progress made to date on the Route 79 widening and Gilman Springs Grade Separation projects. :jw RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: November 1, 1995 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Gary Martin, Bechtel Tom Horkan, Bechtel THROUGH: Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Yuma Interchange Construction Cooperative Agreement Staff is meeting with the City of Norco on October 31, 1995 to discuss the necessary Construction Agreement to be entered into between the City and Caltrans. The City staff has inquired about the possibility of RCTC managing construction, which may change the Construction Agreement responsible local agency. Staff will present the results of those discussions for RCTC consideration at the meeting. :jw RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: November 1, 1995 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Dean Martin, Controller Jerry Rivera, Staff Analyst III THROUGH: Jack Reagan, Executive Director SUBJECT: FY 1996-2000 Measure "A" Five Year Capital Improvement Program for Local Streets and Roads The Measure "A" Ordinance requires each recipient of streets and roads monies to annually provide to the Commission a five year plan on how those funds are to be expended in order to receive disbursements for local streets and roads. In addition, the cities in the Coachella Valley and the County must be participating in CVAG's Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) program. The agencies are also required to submit the annual certification of Maintenance of Effort (MOE) accompanied by documentation supporting the calculation. At its July 12, 1995, September 13, 1995 and October 11, 1995 meetings, the Commission approved the programs of nineteen local agencies. Staff has received the required documents from the final local agency, the City of Beaumont, and staff request the Commission accept their program. Also, the City of Lake Elsinore has revised their Five Year Plan, and -they -are- requesting Commission approval of their final adopted Measure "A" Plan as attached. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission accept the FY 1996-2000 Measure "A" Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan for the City of Beaumont and the revised Plan from the City of Lake Elsinore as submitted. :jw Attachment " Riverside County Transportation Commission Measure " A" Local Funds Program FY 1996.2000 Agency: CITY OF BEAUMONT Prepared by: DEE MOORJANI Date : JUNE 27, 1995 Item N o.

The representatives present at the meeting included: RCTC RTA Alex Clifford Jim Hyatt, City of Calimesa Bob Buster Judy Baitinger, City of Perris Dick MacGregor Karel Lindemans, City of Temecula Tom Mullen Jessie Myers, Alternate for Kay Ceniceros John Tavaglione Andrea Puga, City of Corona Bill Trembly, City of Canyon Lake Staff provided a review of the transit funding situation as well as a compromise document that was prepared jointly by RCTC and RTA staff. This document is attached for your review with RCTC staff comments noted in bold print. The majority of the discussion focused on this document and on whether the principles could be a basis for agreement on how funding would be allocated in future years. This issue was not agendized for action at the special meeting. It was understood that the representatives would go back to their respective Boards for final discussion and action. The RTA Board of Directors will be meeting on Thursday, October 26 to review the Basis for Agreement principles. The RTA staff recommendation is for approval of the principles; RCTC staff also recommends approval of the principles. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission approve the RCTC/RTA Transit Operating Funding --Basis for Agreement. 4111 :jw " " " RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY 1825 Third Street Riverside, CA. 92507 October 26. 1995 TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: Susan J. Hafner, General Manager SUBJECT: Local Transportation Funding Shortfall - Results of Joint RTA/RCTC Board Meeting Summary: On Wednesday, October 18, 1995, the following representatives from the RTA and RCTC Boards met to discuss the current transit funding shortfall: RTA Jim Hyatt, Chairman Judy Baitinger, First Vice Chair Bill Trembly, Second Vice Chair Karel Lindemans, Board Member Jessie Myers, Board Alternate ROTC Alex Clifford, Chairman* Bob Buster, Commissioner* Dick MacGregor, Commissioner Tom Mullen, Commissioner* John Tavaglione, Commissioner* *Also RTA Board members. At this meeting a thorough review of the transit funding situation was presented along with a compromise document that was prepared jointly by RTA and RCTC staff. (Please see attached - the bold comments are notations by RCTC staff.) Although no action was taken, there was a general consensus among those present that the attached listing of principles would be the initial guideline on how future issues would be dealt with. Overall, the attached basis for agreement presents a balanced approach to funding all transit modes for the future. It includes sacrifices in planned service implementation on both bus and rail modes. If approved by the RTA Board of Directors and the Riverside County Transportation Commission, the RTA staff will begin to reformulate a recommendation for service adjustments to meet the financial constraints that this new financial plan entails. This staff recommendation will be'developed and presented for future RTA Board approval with a planned service implementation date to take place in early 1996. Recommendation: Approve the RTA/RCTC Basis for Agreement - Transit Operating Funding principles. Transit Operating Funding --Basis for Agreement Agree that this year's operating funding allocation will not All changed. We need to receive an updated plan showing new operating level i.e., where and how is the money going to be spent. We cannot legally allocate more LTF than is needed to operate system per California Code of Regulations 6634. We could, however, reserve the allocation for RTA. Agree to hold off on major service implementation until after the funding formula's have been determined. We agree no service improvements should be made until formula is determined. We see a need for clarification of a "major service implementation". Does this mean no service improvements will be made at all or none over the 25% service change threshold? Agree that any cost savings: that occur now and in the future, will remain within the RTA's budget reserves. We need to secure legal counsel opinion whether this is allowable under TDA (CCR 6634). As suggested earlier, perhaps any reserves could be held at RCTC but identified specifically to the operator. For clarification, if this is acceptable, it would apply to all bus and rail operators, not just RTA. Agree on an acceptable funding formula for local transportation funds which will be followed for a defined period of time (for example five years). Staff could support the 80/20 proposed bus/rail formula. Gain agreement from the Commission that Measure A will be utilized to defray costs of the RTA paratransit services. Staff would support 50% of Measure A Specialized Transit revenues being directly allocated to all Western County bus operators to support paratransit services. Formalize in writing how State Transit Assistance Funds will be divided between the Transit Operators. Staff would recommend that the allocation be made the same way as LTF--based on population for each apportionment area then on the agreed upon bus/rail formula within the Western County apportionment area. • r • t RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: November 1, 1995 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Route 79 Surface Transportation Funding Trade Request At the June, 1995 meeting the Commission approved programming $3 million in discretionary federal funding from the Surface Transportation Program for the Route 79 Winchester Road widening project. The total cost of this project is estimated at $6.5 million. Route 79 is a major arterial for the Southwest County Area with severe congestion. The County of Riverside is the lead agency for this project. The County has already received environmental clearance for the project through the State (CEQA) process and design has been completed. The County expects to have agreements for right of way and the remainder of the funding needed for this project within the next two months, and the project could go out to bid, except that federal funds are involved. The County and the City of Temecula are anxious to get this project under construction. Congestion on this section of the highway is already severe and is worsening. In addition, a new school is being constructed and the highway improvements are needed to provide safety for students who will travel daily to and from the school. The use of federal funds will require the County to essentially begin the environmental clearance process again in order to meet federal (NEPA) requirements. The County would have to wait until the environmental process was completed to acquire any right of way using federal guidelines. Construction of the project could easily be delayed 1 - 2 years. The County has applied for State Local Partnership finds through the SB 300 Process and expect to use these funds to offset project costs. If a contract for construction is not awarded by June 30, 1996 they will not be eligible those funds. The County of Riverside has requested the Commission, if at all possible, to provide $3 million in non federal funds as a swap for the STP funds. Staff has reviewed the projects currently programmed for Measure A funding. Projects such as the Yuma/I-15 Interchange and interchanges on 1-10 in the Coachella Valley are too far along to consider using the federal funds. We have identified $2.405 million in Measure A and other non federal funds which the Commission could consider for a swap with the County. The Galena/I-15 Interchange Project currently has $1.5 million in Measure A funding budgeted in the current fiscal year. An Page 2 additional $4 million in Measure A funds has been committed and is to be budgeted in future years for a total of $5.5 million in Measure A funds for the project. The Galena Interchange Project is on the interstate highway system and will have to be processed through federal environmental and design review processes. The use of STP funds on this project would not create any delay. The Commission also has an account, Account #836, with $905,000 in local funds which could be swapped for the STP funds. The remaining $595,000 could be made available if the Commission would agree to budget this amount of Measure A funds for the Galena/I-15 Interchange project in next fiscal year and agree to swap them to the County for the balance of the STP funds. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Commission: 1) Amend the Measure A Budget to increase the appropriation for the Galena Interchange by $500,000 (i.e., up from $1.5 million to $2 million of the total $5 million Measure A program commitment); 2) Conditionally exchange $2 million of Measure A funding from the Galena Interchange project to the Route 79 project for a like amount of STP; the condition relates to a full funding agreement for the entire Route 79 project by February 1, 1996; 3) Exchange $905,000 from local exchange account number 836 for the Route 79 project for a like amount of STP; this STP funding would be subject to reprogramming at the Commission's discretion at a future date; 4) Approval of these items are further conditional upon a condition that the cost of interest on commercial paper for Measure A funds shall be included as a cost of the Route 79 project and reimbursed to RCTC. :jw " DATE: TO: FROM: RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION November 1, 1995 Budget and Finance Committee Hideo Sugita, Assistant Director of Planning and Programming THROUGH: Jack Reagan, Executive Director SUBJECT: FY 1996-97 Transit Capital Improvement Program In late September, Caltrans announced the "availability" of anticipated funding for the FY 1996-97 Transit Capital Improvement (TCI) Program. The availability of funds is based on the expectation that the State General Fund will payback a "loan" of $94.5 million to the Transportation Planning and Development Account (TCI funds are allocated from this account). Based on this assumption, Caltrans estimates that approximately $25.0 million of TCI funds would be available to support TCI capital projects. Of this amount $500,000 is Riverside County's approximate funding target. Caltrans District 08 assisted RCTC staff by providing a mailout of the application packages to all cities, transit operators and the county. The mailout included a due date for project applications as October 17, 1995. As of that date only two applications were received. An application from the City of Indio to develop an intermodal passenger station at the existing Amtrak stop at Jackson Street and an RCTC project for the extension of the emergency platform including track improvements on the Union Pacific line to facilitate bi-directional train loading and unloading at The Pedley Station. As the Commission is required to identify priorities for the projects, staff recommends The Pedley Rail Station project be ranked #1 and the Indio Intermodal Station project be ranked #2. This recommendation is based on potential services and ridership that can reasonably be expected in the near future, and on what has occurred in the prior two TCI rounds. CVAG had previously identified a preference for three intercity rail stations to be located in Palm Springs, Palm Desert and Indio. In the prior two rounds both the Palm Springs and Palm Desert projects were allocated TCI funds. The Indio station has been an established AMTRAK stop for many years; however, AMTRAK service through the Coachella Valley has actually declined within the last year, and no new service is on the horizon. On the other hand, demand for Metrolink service on the Riverside Line continues to grow and can only be accommodated with increased train frequencies. The Pedley F:\USERS\PREPRINT\NOV.95\96-97TCI.HS Page 2 Station improvements are among the projects Union Pacific requires in order to add additional train trips on their right-of-way. The project is also an opportunity to leverage our investment of local funds in The Pedley Station, providing for additional operating flexibility, necessary safety improvements, and more frequent stops at Pedley. The goal is a more balanced travel pattern, including future reverse commute options, which would maximize the use of train crews and equipment and increase revenues. Staff recommends that The Pedley Station improvements be the highest priority. As you are aware, TCI funds require a 50% local match. For the Commission's information, the purchase and construction of The Pedley Station was completed entirely with Measure A funds. The phased application for this project ($500,000 in FY 1996-97 and $3,300,000 in FY 1997-98) uses The Pedley Station as the local match for the project. No additional match funds will be required. The Indio project requests $1.5 million in TCI and the City is providing the requisite local match. Attached is the required Fixed Guideway Financial Plan for the FY 1996-97 TCI project proposals. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Commission approve the submittal of the FY 1996-97 TCI applications, reflecting the above priorities, and adopt the FY 1996-97 TCI Fixed Guideway Financial Plan. :jw Attachments F:\USERS\PREPRINT\NOV.95\96-97TCI.HS Cuanse Minimum the Project Will Affect (b1 M ounty Rq iu„us only): Share of Cale 112iscrigatt fighmai TPaD✓rCz AB 973 Proposition 116 FCR/SHA PTA Section 3 PTA Section 9 1D A STA Lod Salle Tax Private Thtnt FY 1994.95 Feeding Received may`• Otter T. nra i j Tow FY 1995-96 Funding Received 1 r a g a Year•• • 1111.

Governor September 25, 1995 Subject: Availability of Additional Corridor Planning Funds As indicated at the last meeting of the Priority Corridor Steering Committee, the New Technology and Research Program. (NT&R) will have extra funds available for deployment planning in the Priority Corridor in the 1996-97 fiscal year. One reason for the surplus is a lower -than -anticipated bid from the contractor who will be preparing the Corridor -wide deployment plan. Regional teams may apply for additional funds. The application should include a clear description of existing conditions and the need for the additional funds. For example, need could result from such factors as an expanded planning area and expanded scope of work. Also, the request should identify the purpose/activities to which the funds will be applied. There should be sufficient funds to allocate up to 10% more per region of each region's total allocation (Inland Empire: $500,000; Los Angeles -Ventura: $562,500; San Diego: $500,000). Eighty percent of the increase would be federal and the remaining 20% state; no additional local funding would be required for matching purposes. In order to help NT&R budget its next fiscal year's resources and to transfer the funds by the beginning of the 1996-97 fiscal year (to make sure the funds are available), please apply for any needed additional funding by the end of December 1995.

The Inland Empire ITS project is currently funded with $400,000 of federal funds, $50,000 of State funds, and $25,000 each from SANBAG and RCTC for a total of $500,000. Due to a lower than anticipated bid on an ITS planning project managed by Caltrans, there may be an additional $50,000 ($40,000 federal/510,000 state) which can be applied to the Inland Empire planning project. According to the draft letter, application for the funds must occur by December 1995. Staff has had discussions with SANBAG and Caltrans District 08 staff regarding the possible use of these funds. Staff concurs that if the additional funds are made available, we will design a more significant public out reach program to support the Inland Empire ITS project. One of the more challenging factors facing ITS is getting the public and stakeholders involved in the planning process. Development of an effective outreach program would hopefully stimulate interest and involvement. According to the draft letter the funds are already matched and it appears that a local 10% match will not be required. This issue will be discussed at the November 7, 1995 Southern California Priority Corridor meeting. Staff will update the Commission at the November 8, 1995 RCTC meeting should there be any change in direction on this item. Please note that should funds be secured, staff will develop an outreach program and bring it back to the Commission for approval. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission authorize staff to secure up to $50,000 of additional federal and state funds to supplement the Inland Empire ITS Strategic Planning project. :jw Attachments F:\USERS\PREPRINT\NOV.95\ITSFUNDI.HS Cow se Minimum the Project Will Affect (In Mu1tl-County Regions (filly): Sh are of Comity Project's Cost Flld,111 7Ta lyrci AB 973 Proposition 116 FCR/SIIA FTA Section 3 FTA Section 9 TDA STA Local Sales Tax Private Other Prenert� /Alize ts Ta al Tim FY 1994.95 Fording Received ja for Years $17. 48 $36.00 $53. 48 • Pedley Station Expansi on Priqedm Name #1 Project's Regional Pri ority Ranking Within the Co unty Exhibit 2 STATE TRANSIT CAPIT AL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM REGI ONAL GUIDEWAY FINANCIAL PLAN (5 In Millions) FY 1995-96 Funding Received Ip Current Yew" FY 1996-97 Funding Needed j/ Next Fiscal Years" • Riv .

" " RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: November 1, 1995 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Tom Horkan, Bechtel Project Manager Susan Cornelison, Senior Staff Analyst THROUGH: Jack Reagan, Executive Director SUBJECT: Financial Plan of Riverside -Downtown Station Expansion Introduction: In 1993 RCTC completed Phase I of the Riverside -Downtown Commuter Rail Station to serve the Metrolink Riverside to Los Angeles service on the Union Pacific Line. The commuter rail platform was placed west of the existing Santa Fe main tracks, and a former Union Pacific line was reconstructed to provide access from the platform to the Union Pacific main tracks. Also in 1993, RCTC entered into a Letter Agreement with Santa Fe that would allow initial commuter rail service on the Santa Fe's San Bernardino Subdivision to make use of the existing platform constructed for the Union Pacific Metrolink service. This Letter Agreement amended the agreement that RCTC and the other members of SCRRA had entered into with Santa Fe that required a eastern platform to be constructed for initial service at the Riverside -Downtown station. As the Commission is aware, both Union Pacific and Santa Fe, have had concerns with the combined operation of freight and commuter rail through the Riverside - Downtown station area. Previous presentations have been made to the Commission regarding the potential conflicts and the proposed solution of construction of an additional platform on the east side of the Santa Fe main tracks at the Riverside - Downtown Station. This additional platform would separate the Metrolink service on the Santa Fe and Union Pacific lines and avoid crossing conflicts between Santa Fe bound Metrolink trains and Union Pacific freight trains. A study was prepared by Miralles and Associates examining various options for locating an eastside platform and the cost of all the elements needed to complete the Riverside -Downtown Station. The Commission identified a preferred alternative with elements which include expanding the existing parking lot for more parking, additional train storage, construction of a new platform to provide service to Santa Fe Metrolink F:\USERS\PREPRINT\N0V.95\FINPLN-RIV.TH Page 2 trains, and construction of a new pedestrian bridge connecting the two platforms. Staff has analyzed the costs and available sources of revenue (Prop. 108 and 116 funds, TCI, Santa Fe, and Union Pacific) to prepare a financial plan to complete the Riverside -Downtown Station at a cost no greater to RCTC than all improvements that would otherwise be required to run service continually from the west side platform. Cost of Needed Improvements: The Miralles study provided costs for various options and particular elements of expanding the Riverside -Downtown Station. Some elements of the expansion have already gone forward. Other elements (an eastside station track) may not be required until the future, but need to be planned and provided for at this time. Staff believes the station expansion at this time must provide for the following items. 1. (In progress) Expand Metrolink parking lot capacity - Work is essentially complete on the parking lot expansion to add approximately 350 spaces. The cost of the parking lot expansion including design is: $370,000. 2. (In progress) Extend westside passenger rail station track northward to provide for train storage for one additional Metrolink train. This track extension is necessary to start Metrolink service into Orange County out of the existing west side station. The track extension allows all three Union Pacific Metrolink trains to be stored on one track and leave the other track clear for operations. The cost of the additional track extension and other facilities for overnight storage is approximately: $513,000. 3. Construct a 700 foot commuter rail platform on the east side of the Santa Fe main tracks directly across from the existing platform. The platform would be located on top of the Riverside irrigation canal and in front of the former FMC building, now owned by Royal Citrus, Inc. The cost of the platform is estimated to be: $850,000. 4. Construct a pedestrian overhead bridge between the two platforms to allow commuters to access both platforms from the west side parking lots. The estimated cost of the pedestrian bridge is: $1,266,000. 5. Construct a train storage facility on property currently owned by Santa Fe between 3rd and 7th Streets in Riverside on the east side of the Santa Fe main tracks. The storage facility will hold the Santa Fe Metrolink trains. The facility would initially be constructed to hold four trains, with expansion capabilities to add two additional trains. The storage facility takes the place of a facility that would be required to be constructed at Highgrove if all service is maintained on the west side. The cost of the facility, with Santa Fe providing approximately 2,000 feet of track, is estimated to be: $1,843,450. F:\USERS\PREPRINT\NOV.95\FINPLN-RIV.TH " Page 3 " " " 6. Additional improvements and acquisitions in connection with the above, which after the required appraisals, are estimated at approximately: $735,000. The total cost of the improvements is estimated to be $5,579,324, including Santa Fe's participation in providing material for the train storage facility. Identified Resources: Several sources of funds are identified to complete the station and storage expansion: A. The nearly completed expansion of the Riverside -Downtown parking lot (element #1, previous page) has been funded by the remainder of funds in the original ICI grant allocation for the downtown station. B. The extension of the existing passenger rail track to the north for storing one additional Union Pacific Metrolink train (element #2) is funded by the current Prop. 108/TCI allocation for trackwork. C. RCTC was awarded approximately $2,800,000 of Proposition 108 funds for a train storage facility at Highgrove. The eastside expansion of the Riverside - Downtown Station and construction of the eastside storage facility negates the need for the Highgrove layover facility. Those funds could be transferred to station expansion and storage at Riverside (elements #3, #4 & #5). D. The Union Pacific has pledged $1,542,000 for the station expansion effort in an agreement with the Santa Fe (applicable to elements #3, #4 & #6). E. Additional funding (for element #6, or portions of elements #3, #4 or #5 which may be ineligible for other identified sources) could be obtained from 'the $100,000 remaining for downtown station right-of-way acquisition and from savings realized in another Prop. 108/TCI allocation for stations and trackwork.

F:\USERS\PREPRINT NOV.95\FINPLN-RIV.TH " " RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: November 1, 1995 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Hideo Sugita, Assistant Director of Planning & Programming Claudia Chase, Property Technician THROUGH: Jack Reagan, Executive Director SUBJECT: 24 -Hour Security at La Sierra & West Corona Stations Within one week of the completion of construction at the La Sierra Rail Station, we began experiencing acts of vandalism. The Ticket Vending Machine was severely damaged to the extent of $20,000 for repairs. There was also destruction of irrigation equipment and theft of landscaping materials, plants, scrubs and ground cover. The West Corona Station has also had landscape materials, as well as lighting fixtures, removed from the property. The Security Guard Service Agreement between RCTC and the Southern California Regional Rail Authority provides guards at both stations between 5:30 a.m. until 6.30 p.m. Due to the recent vandalism, staff has initiated a two-week request of 24 -hour, round the clock security at both the La Sierra and West Corona Rail Stations. This urgent request was authorized under the Executive Director's single signature authority. While other methods of securing the site are examined, staff feels it necessary to continue the 24 -hour security for a period of 90 days. The cost of one security officer, armed is $10.24 per hour, with an additional security supervisor cost of $1.00 per hour. The total additional cost for the added hours of security for a 90 day period at the two stations is $27,785.28. This additional cost was not included in the operational budget, therefore if needed the cost will be shared by the rail lease revenues. Staff will keep you apprised of security issues related to the stations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission approve temporary, 24 -hour security service at both the La Sierra and West Corona Rail Stations. .Jw
